I believe the monetization system on X has nothing to do with engagement monetization.

I think it is incentivizing engagement for AI model training.

And so the argument originally was you don't get money based on views of your tweets.

Advertisements appear in the replies.

So it's the engagement to your replies that will generate money because that's where the ads are, right?

Well, that also doesn't quite make a whole lot of sense as far as I'm concerned.

And what I think actually happened is that Elon Musk bought Twitter because he wanted the fire hose.

This stream of human consciousness of people just blasting out what they're doing.

Excellent AI training data.

Then he wants more data.

So he says monetary incentive if people reply to you.

I have a I have a I put out a tweet.

We call them tweets.

BuzzFeed included me in an article because their writer, Hannah, what's her name?

Something I don't know.

She's retarded.

And I made a joke, a very obvious joke.

When the war with Iran started, I said, is there literally one reason why we shouldn't take over Iran or Canada for that matter or Mexico?

Which is obviously a joke and everybody understands it's sarcasm.

And she screen grabbed that like, look at these mock idiots.
